Core Tip This case highlighted the successful treatment of a 13 cm tibial defect complicated by infections with trifocal bone transport combined with free flap coverage. The combined strategy allowed both soft-tissue coverage and skeletal restoration, and the patient avoided amputation. The management of this case emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and sequential fixation to achieve excellent functional outcomes.
